WALKING STREET
Market
Perhaps wanting to emulate the success of Chiang Mai's street markets, Lampang
now has its own along the charming Th Talad Gao (also known as Kat Korng Ta).
Dotted with old shophouses showcasing English, Chinese and Burmese architectur-
al styles, the street is closed to traffic on Saturday and Sunday from 4pm to 10pm
and fills up with souvenir, handicraft and food stalls. A similar
Cultural Street
is
held on Th Wang Nuea from 6am to 9am on Sunday and 6pm to 9pm on Friday.
